"Peter, most people don't like their jobs. But you go out there and try to find something that makes you happy."
- Joanne, from the movie Office Space

Look where you will, and there are statistics showing that anywhere from 50% - 87% of people are unhappy with their jobs. No matter how you decide to read the statistics or how much faith you put in statistics, even 50% is a high number. Just a quick tally of your coworkers, divide by two, and if those people had a better offer, they'd be gone. Chances are good that they're not the people you'd want to be gone because statistically speaking, just as many good people would leave as people you didn't care to work with.

So if even by conservative numbers half of all people don't like their jobs, why is the turnover rate at most companies so "low"?
